The star of the upcoming "Cinderella" film recently expanded her family by adopting a baby girl, according to the Australian Women’s Weekly. The adoption was later confirmed by People magazine and other publications.

Blanchett, a two-time Oscar winner, also has three other children, all boys, with her husband, fellow Australian Andrew Upton: 6-year-old Ignatius Martin, 10-year-old Roman Robert and 13-year-old Dashiell John.

In 2009, the actress opened up about how she and Upton were adapting to life with three little boys during an interview with Vanity Fair.
